MUSK ASKS SUPPLIERS TO MOVE AT ‘LIGHT SPEED' ON NEW CHIPMAKING PLAN

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Elon Musk's Terafab team has reached out to chip industry suppliers for price quotes and delivery times for a variety of chipmaking gear. The outreach suggests Musk is continuing with the project in the face of scepticism from the semiconductor industry. Musk's representatives have asked for speedy price estimates while providing minimal information about the products to be made. The project is offering to pay a considerable amount above quoted figures if suppliers give Terafab priority.
